Industry & Manufacturing
Steer industrial projects, R&D and capacity from a single portfolio view.
Long cycles, regulatory milestones and constant trade-offs between investment projects, R&D and maintenance: industry demands a consolidated portfolio view. FoxPlan brings planning, capacity and budgets together in one tool.
A consolidated industrial portfolio
Group investment (CAPEX), R&D and continuous-improvement projects into portfolios per site or per program, with dashboards and project status reports to arbitrate quickly.
Team and engineering capacity
Compare project workload against the real capacity of your teams — engineering, methods, production — and anticipate bottlenecks before they block a milestone.
Budgets, costs and margins under control
Track budgets, actual costs and remaining work at project and portfolio level, and measure the margin of each program to secure your investment decisions.
Industrial schedules that hold their milestones
Engineering, industrialization, qualification, production start: every phase is planned on a Gantt chart with dependencies, milestones and critical path. A baseline freezes the schedule approved by the steering committee and then measures every slip against it, task by task — so you explain a delay instead of merely noticing it.
Staff before you name
An investment project is often costed before the team is known. Plan it with generic resources — “process engineer”, “automation engineer”, “quality technician” — that carry their workload in the capacity plan and in the budget from day one, then replace them with named people once the assignment is decided, without rebuilding the schedule. Scenario mode measures the impact of a new project on your teams before you commit to it.
OPEX / CAPEX envelopes and objectives
Give each strategic objective — capacity, decarbonization, quality — an envelope per fiscal year and an OPEX or CAPEX nature, then attach projects to it by contribution shares. Committed and actual budgets and attainment rates read per objective on a single screen, so the investment review starts from reconciled figures.
Risks, decisions and committees on record
Risk register with mitigation plans, decision log, steering committees with invitations and project status reports: governance of industrial programs stays in the tool, next to the schedule and budget it concerns.
